Mr.. Lee Clark met with quite an accident
last week by getting his arm put out of place
in scuffle with some young folks. He has
suffered very much, but is better this morn
| ing. Young folks should be more careful
while in such dangerous amusement.
The Farmers Alliance meets every Satur-
day night at the Farr schoolhouse. They
are increasing very fast. There are about
| fifty members already, and they have only
been organized short time.
Collins and Oyerton are talking of moving
| their mill soon up near Hogan, as the mud
| Is SO bad here it is almost impossible to get
| their lumber off. One of the teamsters fell
off his wagon the other day and they had to
dig him out.
AS Christmas is near at hand we hear OF
at Mr. George LuttreIl's next Friday night
and big supper. The young folk antici-
pate having grand time.
Mr.. l.. Stevenson, one Of our merchants,
got into troable one day last week with one
of his customers.
They all said, run, Mr.. Stevenson, run!
And the old lady made for a chair,
And Mr.. l.. stood brave as lion,
And tangled his fingers in his hair.
Mr.. John McHenry, of Annapolis, is seen
quite often in Brunot. We think there must
be some attraction here; but he comes more
like hunter than young man recuperating
for he brings his dogs and shot
DR.. GARRISON, of Des Arc, was down at the
mill one day last week, and he not being used
to sawmiils,
Round come a skid and battle whanged him
over the shin,
And turned him four summersaults,
And you better reckon it made him grin.
We have not heard from him since, but
hope there were no broken bones.
Tom Jones, our blacksmith, is the best
runner in Brunot. He caught a full grown
rabbit on a fair race.
John Crowly, don't forget to kill that old
goose and gander Christmas, for we will be
round to help you eat them. BAsILIo.

"Granny," of Arcadia, strikes Bro. Hotson
| rather hard last week in referring to the 10.
| cation Of his lcehouse. 1t may be that the
building, location, &C., are to some extent
obnoxious to''Granny's" keen eye Of percep-
| ton, hence the comparison. "Granny" is
getting old, though, and perhaps does not
mean half she says.
Mr.. Joe Wigger met with an accident last
week, which considerably bruised him up;
he was engaged in sinking shaft, and after
having prepared shot started for the top
but bis foot slipped and he fell to the bot
tom. a distance of about twenty five feet.
He was self-possessed though, and at once
thought of the lighted fuse, which he ex-
tinguished at once with little or no emotion.
He miraculously escaped what might have
been of serious consequence.
"Dry" was commissioned one day last
week to make business trip to Pennington.
OF course there is nothing remarkable in
this, but there was something that struck
us as being very remarkable in the warn he
spun shortly after his return. He tells us in
l. 40 of<
flock Of wild turkeys; in fact from the man.
ner in which he relates it to us, it is by no
means unreasonable on our part to assume
the belief that he was obliged to precede his
team in order to clear the road that seemed,
according to his narration, utterly blocked
with turkeys. We have always heretofore
believed "Dry" to be a man Of unquestion-
able veracity and possessing all the true
virtues of loyal citizen, but since he gave
vent to the above yarn, and monkeyed with
the truth so indifferently, We have lost all
faith and confidence in him and can only
say that the sights be claims to have seen on
his recent trip, seem to us to be fresh fish
story slightly modified.
Mr.. JAS. Ii. Stipe, of st. Louis, has been in

The public school will have Xmas tree

Mr.. Vance, Of the Green Tree Brewery

There was considerable "scrapping" on
the streets and in the back alleys last Satur-

grade themselves by getting drunk and fight

been so often expressed as 10 it that it needs
no repetition now. What we at this time
desire to revert TO is the fact that boys from
sixteen to eighteen years of age have of late
been showing their "manliness" in the same
manner. On the night in question they had
a number of set-tos, and at least one OF the
younger hoodlums was drunk. He did not

Obituary.

Richard B. Irwin Shy died Dec. 11th, 1857
at bali past 10 O'Clock P. M, aged six years
three months and twenty- three days of spinal
meningitis, after thirty-fOur hours OF great
suffering.
Little Richard was stricken down while
out at the wood yard with his little brothers
they being left alone while father, mother
and oldest sister were attending church.
The remorseful hand of death has fallen
with fearful weight upon us, and in an houl
of bright sunshine and happiness hath taken
from our midst, one Of earth's brightest
treasures from father aud mother and broth.
ers and sisters to an un:ried reality beyond
the grave.
Yes, little Richard is gone! gone home te
that sun-lit cline, there TO receive the re-
ward he so richly merited by his innocen,
life here on earth. While thou art lost to
earth, let us ever bear in mind that thy spiri,
is added to that bright Angel Host whose
voice proclaims the joys of heaven. Grieve
not fond parents over the loss of your darl.
ing little boy, but bear this one of earth's
greatest trials; while the agonizing thought
is forced upon your mind that you must see
him no more on earth, you can meet again
by-and-by IN better world.
Richard was kind and dutiful child and
his Happy smiles will long be remembered
by those with whom he associated. Many
and bitter were the tears Of those fond par.
ents as they gaZed for the last time on the
remains of their darling boy. Farewell
farewell! Richard, may thy spirit borne on
angel wings find in heaven a rest.
Our days are like the grass,
Or like the morning flower,
